S48.E06: "Doing the Damn Thing" LIVE CHAT THREAD

[Rodney]

So Joe, Eva, David, Kyle, Kamilla, and Shauhin want to play a non-backstabbing game?  They want an alliance of strong people.

[Straycat80]

An honest game? Oh this will be interesting. 

[gorgy]

Star publicly giving away her idol was a great move to create a shield

[LadyChatts]

So basically the meat shields are going to run the game and get out anyone that's good at puzzles, a strategist, or making moves (basically playing the game).  Hoping this is foreshadowing to this alliance having a quick downfall and David being the first to go.

Me, too.  Boring challenge beasts boringly dominating the game is just . . . boring.

[truthaboutluv]

I predict this "honest alliance" falls apart before this episode ends. 

[iMonrey]

There's no such thing as honor and integrity in Survivor. They sound so dumb and pretentious saying that.

[Rodney]

Mitch and Charity still want to keep the Civas strong.  But does Kamilla?

Ooh!  Forgot about Mitch's Block-a-Vote!

I like that Kyle said he's openly lied so far and that people don't know about his alliance with Kamilla.

I wonder what that group thinks is going to happen if it actually got down to those 6 and then they had to start voting each other out.  What are they going to do, rock/paper/scissor for who goes home so they don't have to lie and backstab?

[Rodney]

Charity has a good point.  Get Eva out to weaken Joe.

Oh, Charity.  This may not be you in the real world, but it's so me.  That's why I'd be an ace at this game.  I would lie, I would cheat, I would steal, and if I have to . . . I would even kill if it got me what I wanted.

Charity made a boo-boo.  Asking Star to ask Eva for her idol back was a mistake.  She'd better win immunity.

[gorgy]

these people are too nice

[iMonrey]

We haven't heard a peep out of Charity all season long. Suddenly we're seeing a lot of her. HMMMM. I wonder what that means.

[truthaboutluv]

That's always the danger of playing a bold game. Charity's not wrong in her rationale for going after Eva but not surprised it's gotten her name being thrown around.

I don’t think the million dollars will ever go to charity.

Or Charity.

I’m bored and I want to be clever. 🤷‍♂️

Having a good point means nothing if no one you’re talking to likes your point. Star is playing with her heart. Doesn’t look good for my viewing satisfaction if the winner is going to be based on who they like rather than good strategy.

I hate it.  I already knew Joe was soft but didn't expect it from David and Shauhin.

Also, since they are anti-lying, are they going to be upfront about their alliance and whoever they are targeting tonight?  Or will they...lie?

[Lantern7]

Survivor might be better with loose wolves. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[Straycat80]

So Eva is the only woman in the honor and integrity alliance? 

[Rodney]

Whoa.  Challenge already?!

[Lantern7]

Shit, looks like teams, then individual immunity.

I know.  That's disappointing if that happens.

Yeah, it's just like last season.  Sai probably got the advantage to advance herself directly to the individual portion.

[MerBearHou]

Mud + wood shavings!!!

I think these people are all fools for not getting Eva or Joe out right away.  But Charity definitely took the wrong approach.  And it doesn't seem like she has any idea her standing in the game.

[dizzyd]

Pretty necklace 

[Rodney]

Damn!  Nice immunity necklace!

I think the peak of parody was when Probst snuffed out the torch of Said from Lost.

[iMonrey]

Got it. Mud, ramp, key, puzzle.

[Straycat80]

Who are the sadists who think up these challenges, mud and wood shavings. 
Sai doesn’t have to compete. Lucky. 

[Lantern7]

Looks like things are comin’ up Sai today.

[Rodney]

So Sai goes right to the individual stage, like I saw, and she gets to eat?  Lucky girl.

[LadyChatts]

Considering Mary got called out by Sai for celebrating and bragging about their food last week, she's not very good at taking her own advice.

[truthaboutluv]

That is a BIG advantage for Sai. She'll probably still lose immunity. 

[Lantern7]

Probst, not shy in getting in people’s faces this week . . .

[Pepper the Cat]

Smart Mary. Face up

[Rodney]

Chrissy's approach is interesting, sliding underneath the fence backwards like that.  It seemed to work quickly, too.

[Straycat80]

Everybody look like those green plastic soldiers when they come out of that mud. 

[Lantern7]

Heh. Sai is thankful she gets to sit out. Wouldn’t blame everyone if they gang-hug her at some point.

Icing and sprinkles. I can’t tell who’s who

[Rodney]

Oh, no.  Cedrek predictably dragging again.

[LadyChatts]

Is it really too much to ask to have a good old-fashioned merge?  Everyone gets a buff (because haven't they technically earned it?  How is this making them earn it anymore?), everyone competes, one person wins immunity and a reward.  I'm glad they dropped the team-immunity portion but why do they still have to compete in teams?

[Brown44]

Whenever they do mud challenges thru out the seasons that can't be good for the women.

[Quilt Fairy]

So with everyone covered in mud I have no idea who anyone is. 

[iMonrey]

It seems counter-intuitive to keep making these people crawl through mud because the TV audience can't tell who they are. Why do they keep doing this? Do they think it's funny? Are 13-years olds designing challenges?

Oh, I forgot. Nobody has "designed" a challenge on this show in years. They just keep recycling the same parts over and over again and "crawl under net thru mud" is on the bingo card.

[Lantern7]

Run-up wall, muddy bodies. At least there’s a rope net.

[Rodney]

Damn!  Chrissy's good for her age!

[dizzyd]

I hope Cedrek is left hanging 

[Rodney]

Of course.  Cedrek's blowing things for his team yet again.

[willco]

Great, just like last week, stupid f---ing weather man butts in n right in the middle of the challenge ! I swear, I hate this guy !
